I've done 55 on skis before and that takes a much steeper slope that you'd see on a public road like that. Granted he's got a smaller cross section than a skier in a tuck, but the skier has a lot less friction.
I'd guess his top speed to be about 45mph, and he probably slowed to 30 or so in the corners.
